Eugene smiled as well, and then said, "The next thing is to see how he performs, if he can really fix Lawson Rubins, then we can save a lot of trouble." ”

Stevenson also stopped smiling and became expectant.

He is about to step down as governor, and although he wants to run for president directly, there are too many ruthless characters in American politics.

There is the old one in the past, and there is the old worship in the back.

In addition, Silary, known as the Iron Lady of America, is also waiting to make a comeback in 24.

And although he has the support of the Demon Root Family, compared to these people, both his prestige and political resources are much lower.

Therefore, his real idea is to run for the Senate after leaving the governorship, accumulate a wave of prestige and political resources, and then use it as a springboard to challenge for the throne.

But the problem now is that Lawson Rubens is not only his biggest rival, but he has also repeatedly attacked him on television as governor; Improper policies for various states of Nevada.

If David can stink and kill that guy, then he's going to be beautiful!

……

Lake District Bureau.

After the call, David pondered for a while with his chin on his head, and finally picked up the phone: "Help me get information about the candidacy for Senator Lawson Rubins." ”

After about 20 minutes, Ariel delivered the documents.

David flipped through it and quickly learned the details of the candidate.

Yes, this man was indeed Stevenson's political enemy.

And many times in public, all kinds of criticism of Stevenson, no wonder this Stevenson wants to use his own hands to clean up the stinky house!

However, David told Eugene on the phone just now that he would start the investigation, but it was just a delaying tactic, so that he would not be stupidly used as a gun.

The governor is making things difficult for him at every turn, and if he continues like this, he may not be able to cause him any trouble next time.

And now, after reading the Lawson Rubins profile here, he has some ideas in his mind.

This Stevenson, doesn't he want to get rid of his political enemies with his own hands, so can he also use the other party's political enemies to get rid of the other party?

For a long time, the reason why David was afraid of this Stevenson three points was because he was worried that if he was directly attacked, it would cause the forces behind him and other high-level figures to worry, which would cause a very unfavorable situation for himself.

But with the help of Stevenson's opponents, such as Lawson Rubins, this may be a shield.

Of course, this has to be carefully planned!

"Giggle......

While David was still in his thoughts, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Bucky walked in and said, "I've checked, the two gangs of outlaws who bribed Poppy have been taken away. ”

"Taken away? Who? ”

David was puzzled.

Bucky replied: "I can't find it yet, because their identities are confidential, but one thing is for sure, it must be someone from some law enforcement agency!" ”

David's face sank and asked, "Have you found out their whereabouts or something?" ”

As long as you can see these people and look at them with their golden fingers, you will probably be able to know which law enforcement agency it is.

"Bradley and Kondeliff are being tracked, and it will take some time."

"Okay, go get busy, I'll be notified if there's news."

……

It was 9 p.m.

David was still in his office, working on the case files sent in by the city.

At the same time, they are also waiting for news from Bradley and Condeliffe.

Soon after, there was a knock on the door, and Bucky walked in, saying, "There's news for the Tax Collector, they're at the 'Savage Bar' in New Town." ”

David immediately stood up, put on his coat, picked up the tax badge and gun, and pushed the door open.

The Savage Bar is located in an alley in the New Town.

When David and Bucky arrived, Bradley and Condriv were standing in the doorway, smoking.

As soon as they saw David coming, the two immediately threw their cigarettes on the ground and stepped on them, and Bradley immediately said, "They're inside!" ”

"Lead the way!"

Bradley and Condriv immediately took the lead and walked into the bar.

It's a bar, and when you step through the door, you can get a strong smell of tobacco and alcohol in your nose, and a subtle smoke fills the air.

The walls of the bar are also adorned with primitive ornaments, such as animal skins, feathers and wooden tools, which correspond to the word "savage in the 'Savage Bar'".

The two of them took David behind them and walked all the way into the corner of the bar, only to see a burly man with his back to them, enjoying a cocktail.

[Name: Browning Todd.] 】

[Occupation: FBI agent.] 】

[Income: $16,000 per month and $82,000 in illegal income.] 】

[Income details: On December 9, a group of terrorists was dealt with in Henderson City, in which 500,000 funds were seized, and 20,000 US dollars were smuggled and profits, and on December 17, 3 spies were arrested in Virginia City, 200,000 yuan of funds were seized, and 20,000 US dollars were smuggled from them......]

[More details: ......]

[Tax payable: $20,500.] 】

When the man's profile came to David's eyes, he finally understood.

He said, why is Bobby's investigation so professional, it turned out that someone from the FBI did it.

And it's the FBI's agents who take action!

In the FBI's system, the average agent is usually responsible for the FBI's day-to-day investigations, including investigation of criminal activities, intelligence gathering and analysis, interstate crimes, financial crimes, terrorist activities, etc.

As for the operatives, they are the elite of the FBI, and they are usually responsible for handling cases involving national security and foreign intelligence, such as counter-espionage, counter-terrorism, counter-insurrection and other activities.

It's no wonder that the IRS keeps the identities of these people confidential.

"Brother, there's someone sitting here."

In the middle of his thoughts, Bradley and Condriv had come to the left and right of the agent named Browning.

Browning, on the other hand, thought that the two were here to share a table or occupy a seat, and immediately reminded him.

"Am I not human?"

David came to the table and sat down directly across from Browning.

Browning, who was still a little unhappy, changed his complexion instantly after seeing David's face, but soon returned to normal, pretending to be casual and replied: "What do you mean?" ”

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Tax Commissioner David of the IRS Lake District."

"David Tax Collector ......"

Browning first pretended to think for a while, then pretended to remember something suddenly and said, "Tax Chief David, I've heard your name on TV!" ”

Looking at the other party's appearance, David was also a little amused in his heart.

He's been making so much big news lately, and as an FBI agent in Nevada, he's definitely familiar with him.

But now it's embarrassing for him to pretend to be like this.

"What's your name?"

"Saul Clark."

"What?"

"Wire worker."

"Don't pretend!"

David's direct words made Browning's expression sink slightly, and he asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"Why did I find you, you haven't counted it in your own mind, Mr. Browning Agent of the FBI!"

was directly revealed in this way, Browning stopped talking, but his eyes gradually became sharper.

And Bucky and the others on the side were stunned for a moment, and then angry gestures began to appear on their faces.

Among the law enforcement agencies in the United States, the IRS has always been the only one who has ever done the FBI, when did anyone from the FBI dare to get their hands on them?

The previous investigation against Poppy turned out to be done by the FBI.

Although this thing is Poppy is not right.

But the notice is not notified in advance, which is too bad for them to pay attention to the national tax situation and too little to take them seriously!

"What's going on?"

And when the atmosphere here was a little frozen, a questioning voice came from behind, which also made everyone turn their heads to take a look.

[Name: Mitchellson Nut.] 】

[Occupation: FBI agent.] 】

[Income: $16,000 per month and $82,000 in illegal income.] 】

[Income details: On December 9, a group of terrorists was dealt with in Henderson City, in which 500,000 funds were seized, and 20,000 US dollars were smuggled and profits, and on December 17, 3 spies were arrested in Virginia City, 200,000 yuan of funds were seized, and 20,000 US dollars were smuggled from them......]

[More details: ......]

[Tax payable: $20,500.] 】

When David examined the agent named Mitchelson, the agent also saw David, and his pupils shrank imperceptibly.

"Just in time for Agent Mitchellson, let's have a good talk!"

Hearing David's words, Mitchelson felt bad in his heart, but he still walked up slowly, sat down and asked, "Tax Chief David, what do you mean by blocking us?" ”

"I heard you've been investigating my subordinate Bobby lately, is there such a thing?"

Mitchelson and Browning glanced at each other, and then Mitchelson replied, "We didn't mean to target your subordinates, and it is our FBI's responsibility to deal with corruption incidents." ”

David smiled disdainfully and replied, "It's just corruption, and you want to alarm you two FBI agents to come out to investigate?" ”

Generally speaking, cases of corruption and bribery are investigated and handled by ordinary FBI agents.

At the agent level, the main focus is on national security issues.

Now the reason why these two people are going to investigate Poppy is that someone is behind the scenes.

I just don't know if the person who directly instructed them was Stevenson or their boss or something.

The two were silent for a while, but Mitchelson replied: "I happened to meet, so I investigated directly, what, Tax Commissioner David, we are on business, you won't have any opinion on our investigation of your subordinates, right?" ”

What he said was actually a mockery of David, although you are prestigious, but our FBI is also 'impartial law enforcement', do you still want to take revenge?

"Of course not, I'm just worried about you FBI don't be used by some people with ulterior motives!"

"This doesn't bother you with Tax Chief David, we FBI will naturally be measured!"

"So, there's nothing to talk about?"

Looking at David's unangry and self-righteous appearance, and thinking of the previous leadership of the armed dispatch and the earthquake caused by Henderson and Sparks, Browning and Mitchelson suddenly felt a tremor in their hearts.

But when he thought of what he had confessed, Mitchelson could only reply forcefully: "Tax Chief David, I don't know what to talk about in this matter, after all, it is also a fact that your subordinates accepted bribes, you can't let us bend the law for personal gain, right?" ”

"Well, you're right!"

David stood up directly, and at this time, Mitchelson and Browning were also relieved, they thought that David was going to leave in disgrace.

Unexpectedly, David's words in the next second made the two of them a little suspicious of life.

"Take it back!"

Bucky, Bradley, and Condriv were stunned for a moment, but soon came back to their senses and were about to step forward.

At this time, Browning Mitchelson finally reacted after a short period of distraction.

Browning rebuked, "What do you mean by this, that you are planning to declare a personal vendetta? ”

"Tax Chief David, your IRS is strong, but we FBI are not vegetarians, if you want to engage us, let's see if you can afford the consequences!"

Mitchelson also chimed in.

David looked at them and said without emotion: "What is the communiqué personal vendetta, now I suspect that the two of you are suspected of tax evasion, and I want to ask you to go back with us for investigation, you FBI should know that we have this power, right?" ”

The two stared at David for a while, and then Mitchelson gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, we can go back with you, but if we can't give an explanation afterwards, this matter will definitely not be over!" ”

After escorting the two men back to the bureau, David did not continue to interrogate them, but planned to lock them up for one night to dampen their spirits.

Later, in order to avoid startling the snake, he first asked the two people's mobile phones to be collected, and then ordered people not to allow them to call.

In the end, he called Bucky and the others to him, gave them some information about Browning and Mitchelson, and asked them to check it overnight.

After doing all this, he returned home.

The next morning, David came to the bureau, and Bucky and the others immediately found him and handed him the information that he had checked overnight.

He watched carefully for half an hour to confirm that there was nothing wrong, and then ordered Mitchelson and Browning to be brought to the interrogation room.

"How's it going, did you rest last night?"

Listening to David's ridiculous tone, Browning and Mitchelson had scarlet eyes, and they looked like they couldn't wait to eat David.

As an agent of the FBI, they have always been the ones who rectify others, how could anyone dare to rectify them like this?

They were detained in a detention cell for the whole night.

It was a whole night!

None of them knew how they got over last night.

At this time, they had secretly sworn in their hearts that this revenge must be redoubled!

Davy ignored their angry gaze and said, "Okay, I'll just say it, you hand over the lawbreakers who were instructed by someone and bribed Bobby, and that's it, and I won't pursue anything else!" ”

"You want to pursue other ......"

The two of them, who were already on fire, were even more angry after hearing this.

"Why, it's a crime for my subordinates to accept bribes, and your tax evasion is not a crime, right?"

"Don't plant false accusations here, say that we evade taxes, you have the ability to come up with evidence!"

David leaned back, folded his arms around his chest, and said slowly, "Do you remember what happened on December 9, 2021?" ”

Hearing this date, Browning and Mitchelson were stunned, and then looked at each other with some doubt in their eyes.

"If you don't remember, then I'll help you remember!"

"At that time, you were in Henderson City, and you caught a group of people who wanted to carry out violent terrorist acts at Christmas, and you were at the scene, and you seized 500,000 illegal funds, right?"

Hearing this, the faces of the two changed slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Mitchelson immediately retorted: "I don't know where you got the gossip, we seized $460,000 at the time, and all of them have been handed over, if you want to know, you can go to our department to check!" ”

David was not in a hurry, opened the information he brought, took out a few photos from it, and placed them in front of the two.

And the photo is Mitchelson, where he is located, a Fengyue place in the Main Street District.

"What does this mean? Who says the FBI can't go to such places? ”

Although this place is secretly a Fengyue place, it is legal on the surface, and Mitchelson is not worried that David will use this as an excuse to rectify him.

David pulled out another document, placed it in front of him, and said, "This is the confession of the dancer who received you at the time, you gave him $100 at the time, and the venue charged $800." ”

"But what's interesting is that you gave this money in cash, and we found out the salary funds in your account by tracking your account, and in the past few months, except for some automatic deductions, the total expenditure is only $500, how do you explain the source of the $900 cash?"

For all public officials in the United States, the monthly salary and bonus are paid directly to the account, and there will be no direct cash payment.

So the easiest way for the IRS to find out which public official is to trace their accounts directly and trace the cash they are using.

Although Mitchelson is an FBI agent and has a strong sense of anti-investigation, as long as he is greedy for money, it must be spent.

With the IRS's powerful channels and resources, and the information David has with Goldfinger, it's not too difficult to find out what he's doing.

Mitchelson frowned slightly, but quickly retorted: "I withdrew $10,000 six months ago, and this cash is left from that time, is there a problem?" ”

David smiled, took out another piece of paper and put it in front of him, and said: "Half a year ago, you did withdraw $10,000 from your account, but then you spent $1,000 to repair the car, $1,200 to buy a massage chair for your parents, and ...... to buy insurance and smoke every day."

"All these expenses are added up, and the total number we have calculated is $9,887, how do you explain this?"

After hearing these words, Mitchelson, who was extremely good at being an agent, was also stupid

Fuck, the IRS can investigate the $900 he spent on going to the Fengyue venue, even the money he took out half a year ago, every subsequent expense, and even how much money he spent on a pack of cigarettes were counted in detail.

How else could he quibble?

Seeing that he didn't speak, David took out several more documents and put them in front of him, and said: "In addition to this $900, you also have a total of cash consumption records in Virginia, Reno, and Carson City, totaling $11,236, how do you explain this money?" ”

Mitchelson's heart gradually began to panic.

Because he knew very well that if the cash spent was not explained clearly, then David would have an excuse to rectify him.

On the side, although David's 'butcher's knife' had not yet been raised to him, when it came to the appearance of his partner, Browning's heart was also worried.

The reason is simple.

Since David can get the detailed details of Mitchelson's cash spending, it will naturally not be difficult to get him.

Really.

In the next second, David threw a mess of papers in front of him, and said: "This is you Browning, your total cash consumption in the past two months is 5065 US dollars, we have verified this money, and it is also not your salary income, please explain the source, it is the source of each one!" ”

Browning picked up the paper and looked at it for a moment, then his face became silent.

"Don't think it's just a matter of tens of thousands of dollars, except for December 9 in Henderson, on the 17th, you captured 3 spy officers in Virginia and seized 200,000 dollars in cash, each of which also deducted 20,000 dollars."

"On the 23rd, when you were tracking down a multinational arms organization, you seized another $25,000 in cash and embezzled ......."

"Since the black tax bill came into effect, you have accumulated more than 80,000 US dollars in your pockets, if this matter spreads, I guess you two will not have a good time, right?"

Originally, the mood of Browning and Mitchelson was heavy enough, and when they heard that David actually had information about their other cases involved in the case, the two couldn't sit still at all.

Now it's not as simple as the two of them being caught by David, they are elite agents of the FBI, and if they are arrested by the IRS for tax evasion, it will also be a big blow to the image of the FBI.

When the time comes, not to mention those colleagues and superiors, even the high-level officials of the FBI General Administration in Washington will be eager to skin them and cramp.

They really can't afford this consequence!

"Tell me, who instructed this, and where are the people now?"

David saw that the two of them were no longer talking nonsense, and asked directly.

The first thing he had to know now was whether it was Stevenson's instructions or the two men's superiors.

It's a bit of a cardin, so I'll update this 6,000-word chapter today.

(End of chapter)
